Frequently asked questions
2 Bodycon Dress
A bodycon long-sleeved dress is the perfect layering piece for winter dressing. Wear them underneath vests, cardigans, blazers, jackets – you name it, you can layer it. You don’t have to break the bank with a designer Hervé Léger number either, with stores like Forever 21, Reiss, and Topshop all selling a range of plain and printed bodycon dresses.
3 Lace Dress
Lace dresses never go out of style. A ladylike lace dress is great option for this winter. Try a coloured lace dress instead of your basic black for something a little bit different. Wear them with opaque tights and pumps, and accessorise with ladylike jewels and compact handbags. This dress from Modcloth will set you back around $70 and you can find other lovely lace dresses at ASOS and Shopbop too.
4 Sweater Dress
Winter is the time to rug up in cosy clothes. So why not keep warm in a sweater dress? While they can come across as shapeless, you can create shape by cinching them in, choosing a more fitted style, or wearing a structured jacket over the top. Choose one in a style that suits you and team them with tights and ankle boots for a chic off-duty look. Since a $600 Chinti and Parker dress is out of the question for many of us, try American Apparel and Free People for some more affordable options.
5 Cocktail Dress
For more formal occasions, a long-sleeved cocktail dress can be a stylish option. Look out for long-sleeved dresses in slinky fabrics with plunging necklines. You can’t go wrong with a basic black dress but if you’re after something a bit more daring then a dress in a bold colour is the way to go. Spend as much or as little as you’d like with dresses by Issa and L’Agence or ASOS and Forever 21.
6 Shirt Dress
For an everyday dress, try a loose shirt dress like this one from Topshop. Create a cool down-town look by teaming it with leather-look leggings, ankle boots, and a slouchy beanie. If loose fitting styles are your thing, try a dress with a full pleated skirt for a more feminine look – stores like Modcloth and Forever 21 have some cute styles available at the moment.
7 Maxi Dress
Winter is the perfect time to break out the long-sleeved maxi dress. Stick to heavy knitted styles with a column-like shape rather than lightweight, flowy dresses. For an edgy winter look, wear such maxi dresses with leather jackets and boots. This one costs $100 at Modcloth but you can get similar, more affordable styles at Topshop and ASOS.
When it comes to the long-sleeved dress there are plenty of styles to choose from. Plain dresses in figure-hugging styles are great for wearing under winter layers while lace and skater styles make for perfect party dresses. How would you style these long-sleeved dresses for winter?
